Short summary
runoutSIM is a free R open-source software tool that helps map where landslides like debris flows might travel. It simulates, at regional scales, how far and fast material could move and whether it might reach roads, rivers, or other features. It also estimates how likely different source areas are to connect with these features – supporting hazard planning and enabling advances in modelling methods.
